Hi,

I have accidentally used DISKPART's clean command on one of my hard disk (my intention was to do it in my flash drive).

Following is the sequence commands that I ran:
diskpart
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active

I know this is stupid, but IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET BACK MY OLD DATA ??

Thank You

"revert" may not be possible.

Not knowing your level of expertise, maybe the easiest way to check would be to grab a trial version of R-Studio or similar and see what it finds. (r-tt dot com)

The usual warnings apply in that if the data on there are valuable consult a local professional. It's too easy to make matters worse by experimentation.

AISI, all you have done is to rewrite the partition table in sector 0. That should be an easy DIY fix.

Try Partition Find and Mount:
